PRESS RELEASE: COMMENCAL / 100%The COMMENCAL / 100% team is ready to kick off the new year with a fresh face - we're excited to announce that Greg Williamson has been added to the 2020 roster! Williamson had a fantastic 2019 season with consistent Top 20 results and was finally able to crack the Top 10 in the final round at Snowshoe with a 7th place. He will be a great addition of experience to the team, joining Hugo Frixtalon and Thomas Estaque. We wish him all the best for this coming season and are excited for what this team can achieve this year.
"I’m very excited to join the Commencal / 100% team in 2020! The team is stacked with a great bunch of people who know how to race fast and also have a good time in the process. I’m currently out in New Zealand putting lots of time in on the new bike, which has been amazing so far."
"So keen to start another year with the COMMENCAL / 100% team! Some new goals, new project, new team mate. I'm working to be more consistent on my physical skills this winter and I hope this will pay off step by step."
"I feel my team is growing each year and I’m excited to evolve with this crew around me. I consider the arrival of Greg as an opportunity due to his bigger experience. My off-season is going pretty well, I’m in a good pace between my goals and my physical preparation. Can’t wait to hit the race tracks, ready to shred, to fight and to send it!"
"I feel this trio can shine on any Sunday with consistency and an amazing style. Greg and Thomas are used to World Cups Top 10 for the last 4 years while Hugo’s progression never stops to grow. We’re also pleased to add Fizik (saddles) and RaceFace (cockpits) as new sponsors." Special thanks to David Trumpmore, Ross Bell, JB & Kifcat for the images.
I can appreciate a smooth style where it doesn't look so fast, but the numbers are green...
But style without speed is missing the point for a race against the clock.
Bruni is pretty damn stylish, IMHO anyway.
He broke the top 15 once last year. MAybe that changes this year and I'll eat my words.
Now, I dont have the skills of Greg, so I am sure that he will make it work (plus I am pretty sure he might have had a wee shot of Kentas at some point). The Commencal seems to be a "fast bike". How it compares to the Unno we will find out shortly.
The Commencal was good enough that I considered buying one (then I remembered I am tight and for 4 or 5 races a year its not really worth it as I am too old and slow anyway)
